Two books a-waiting


I have two books waiting for me on Monday...and neither one of them is Rumspringa. I'm really having fun with this.

The new book must have been returned to the main branch today--I don't think they trundle books between the branches on the weekend. So, like yesterday's book, I don't think it was every really in the race.

But still...

I'm starting to wonder if all the books I have on hold--14, I think, if you don't count Rumspringa--will come in before Rumspringa.

On a side note, I hope this doesn't sound like I'm picking on my library, because I'm not. For me, this is more about the vagaries of the universe and the way expectation and reality diverge than anything else. I adore my library system and am more grateful for it and the people who work in it than I can say.

I never thought you were complaining at all.

FWIW, at our library we had one run a day for sedning books back and forth. If your book came in after the run already left, it could take a couple of days (+ the closed days).

Here's hoping you get it soon.
